I've noticed this odd problem.  Frequently I like to see how much 
swap space Win95 is wasting away by checking the \windows\win386.swp 
file.  But in bash, it gives permission denied on a simple ls.

bash$ dir //D/Win95/*SWP
ls: //D/Win95/WIN386.SWP: Permission denied
bash$ dir //D/Win95/WIN386.SWP
ls: //D/Win95/WIN386.SWP: Permission denied

Feature, or bug?
